Low cost airline Jet2.com has announced its decision to
bring its ground handling operations in-house at East
Midlands airport.

One of the largest carriers out of East Midlands airport,
Jet2 was previously handled by Menzies but henceforth will
perform all of its own ground handling services, as Ground
Handling International reported back in the spring. Hitzinger UK are pleased to be supporting Jet2.com in this
decision and the D-Power 90kVA units supplied are certainly
living up to the high standard at Jet2. Ground Handling
International went on to say, "The unusual decision, which
somewhat bucks the European trend of outsourcing the
handling operation, will see 100 new permanent jobs created
at the airport. New roles will include ramp agents, baggage
loaders and dispatch staff, which the airline hopes to
appoint in time for the peak summer season. Jet2.com
reportedly said that the move was in accordance with its
"ongoing commitment to developing the customer experience
and its operations at the base," adding that it would better
enable the airline to enhance the customer experience, both
for its flight-only and Jet2holidays package holiday
customers. Steve Heapy, Chief Executive of Jet2.com and
Jet2holidays, said: "To provide Jet2.com and Jet2holidays
customers with the best possible experience, we are
investing significantly into our operation ahead of the
summer season. This will enable us to build on our
award-winning service and deliver an even better end-to-end
customer experience for our customers at East Midlands
airport."
